Pursuit of policy contrary to self-interest -- Prototype: the Trojans take the wooden horse within their walls -- The Renaissance popes provoke the Protestant secession: 1470-1530 -- The British lose America -- America betrays herself in Vietnam -- "A lantern on the stern".
Examines the irrationalities of governments through analysis of four crises of history--the fall of Troy, the Renaissance popes' provocation of the Protestant Reformation, Britain's loss of the American colonies, and America's involvement in Vietnam.
